Improve Productivity and Attendance

Employees will be more productive and have much better attendance if they know that their children are in a quality child care program. Employees whose children are not in a consistent, quality program will miss more work and be distracted worrying about their children when they are at work.

Attract and Retain Quality Workforce

Employees are often a two-parent, working family or are single parents. To be able to attract and retain a quality workforce, employers must be aware of the child care needs of families.

Get Tax Breaks

You want a tax break. Oregon employers who subsidize child care expenses or contract with Child Care Partners could be eligible for a 50% tax credit for these costs.

Care about Children and Community

You care about children and your community. We now know that children’s brain development from birth to school age is directly influenced by their early environment. Quality child care is critical to children who spend much of their day in care. Quality at this stage means that children grow up secure, healthy, and are ready for school.
